Description / Abstract:

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the qualitative determination of the polyols in alkyd resins, including resin-modified alkyds. It may be used for analyzing polyesters, but additional peaks may appear from monomers such as styrene.

1.2 The constituents of three resin samples have been correctly identified in collaborative work by five laboratories. Quantities as low as 1 %, obtained by blending samples of known composition, were readily detected.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific hazard statement, see Section 7.
